Making note of a slightly newer generation of heads and a slightly older generation of movers & tastemakers, for the past few years Boston has been leaping and bounding within New England dance music; steadily living up to its golden grasshopper iconology. During & after the Together Festival last month, Big Love Archives spent some time speaking with Chris Ward (C Dubz); local promoter, dj & co-founder of BASSIC, one of the first premier dubstep/soundsystem events in the US.
... I think the moment I don’t feel stressed about it, that’s it, I shouldn’t be doing it anymore. If I dont get those butterflies and tension & stuff, then I know it’s not right. So when the artist & everybody is happy, then I’ve got that afterbuzz, I can’t sleep. I can’t explain it. When the party comes to an end, the tension is relieved & I just get hit with it.
The other half is you have to have a business mentality. But it also has to be very personal. It’s not just like we want a good party. We’re booking these artists because we like their music. I think it’s always better to have a personal connection. There’s a deeper bond.
Full interview here:I guess I have a similar approach to working with students & my own work in education. It’s like trying to understand the immeasurables. So you can judge people how they do on a test. But then you can judge your interactions, dialogue & all those other things that you can’t quantify or put in numbers.
